<p>The development here will not stop until there is a big
depression, recession or reset or whatever they want to call it.
My problem with these people is they don't have the courtesy to
call the renter and say they are going to do something to change
the area I am renting. I never got the point across yesterday to
the daughter that her horses just cost me $500 to $750. Either I
grow it or I have to buy it to feed. The other thing that really
pissed me off was she was mowing the good forage so her courses
would have a place to graze. The grass was about 10 inches tall
and was the new crop.... I have wanted to live on the farm I
started on over 60 years ago. When I got married a friend had
moved onto the place and my new wife did not want to share the
well etc. When we retired and my Dad died, that was the best
time to have moved. Again, someone had moved onto the place. I
ended up severing a 55 year friendship when I evicted the squatter
I had to dissolve the handshake rental agreement. <br>
</p>
<p>I have always rented land on a verbal and handshake agreement.
The experience I have had with people here caused me to have a
written rental agreement and they still violate it. Since they
are neighbors and I need the land to feed my cattle, I have no
choice but to bend over and take it..... Common courtesy is
very uncommon.<br>

In Michigan, you can elect to have your long term farm in to a
"Centennial Farm" it can never be developed and must always be
be farmed. You would receive a huge property tax break, but
could never be developed .<br>

I have another 30 acres rented that adjoins my farm to
the south. The <br clear="none">
landowner decided to dump 2 truckloads of dirt on one of
the better <br clear="none">
producing areas so his kids could have something to
shoot 22 rifles <br clear="none">
into. Not concerned that my cattle were only 300 ft
from the fence <br clear="none">
line in the line of fire. I don't think they ever used
the pile, but it <br clear="none">
became a source of weeds for 300 ft north of that pile.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I lost a 160 acre field 3 years ago when a big farmer
decided he wanted <br clear="none">
it and accused me of not taking care of the place. It
turned out that <br clear="none">
the heir I was dealing with was accepting payment and
not sharing with <br clear="none">
the other heirs. I lost the field and picked up the
one that was being <br clear="none">
mowed today. The loss of the 160 was the very reason I
wanted a <br clear="none">
written contract on any future rentals. Now I was
informed that since <br clear="none">
this 110 acres is owned by 2 brothers they are surveying
it next week to <br clear="none">
split it up between their heirs. Land here is going for
over $5000/acre <br clear="none">
in large parcels. The heirs won't be able to list it
for sale fast enough.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Unless I move 70 miles to the south on the farm that has
been rented out <br clear="none">
for over 20 years, my farming and cattle raising days
are over. By <br clear="none">
the time I could get things sold to move this boom will
be gone....<br clear="none">

We have so many people moving in here from the crazy
